Minor Moves: Oswaldo Navarro

The Mets have signed infielder Oswaldo Navarro, reports ESPN New York's Adam Rubin. The 27-year-old hit .267/.348/.333 with two homers in 365 plate appearances for the Astros' Triple-A affiliate last year. Navarro has 18 big league plate appearances to his credit with Houston and Seattle (2006 & 2010), and has experience at all four infield spots.

With all of our continuous circus of injuries, this may be a significant signing, much as acquiring Justin Turner was important to last year’s team. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like an important pick-up, but we can’t know for sure how the season will play out.
